Florida, Here I come!

Boo Boo’s Fine 2017 Fleece

It’s been a while, well a very long, while since last posting. Years.

Yes, I’m still spinning but at a reduced rate since whatever ails me has ramped up its attack and I’m losing the battle. So I’m off to Tampa for an extended stay to see if a brilliant doctor there can put me back on my feet. Literally. IVIG quit working. Pretty much.

A week into this years TDF and I’m only 1 bobbin into Boo Boo’s Shetland Fleece from 2017. It’s spinning up so fine, both in terms of handle and diameter, that I might have ten thousand yards finished by fall yet still have most of the fiber left in the bin.

Spinning is Zen meditation for me and I’ll all the Zen I can get to see me through whatever treatment awaits me in Florida. Will it be heavy metals, pesticides, Lyme or mold or a combination of the above. I’ll find out Monday July 23rd just in time for my birthday. Wheeee, groan. Later

About Me

I am a retired photographer, graphic artist, IT tech and horticulturist,
currently working in Fiber Arts. I spin like crazy, knit constantly and crochet a
little.

I have survived breast cancer, transverse myelitis and MS and maybe am
dealing with Lyme disease too. I live with chronic pain.

But life is good!

I can spin, especially on my Hansen Crafts eMinispinner, and do fiber arts until I crash and burn. Working with
fiber is great therapy for my hands.
I love to learn new knitting and crocheting techniques and have jumped
back into knitting after a 40 year break and am working on lace shawls.
